0.1250" (1/8") Up-Cut O-Flute Solid Carbide End Mill – 1/8" Shank, Aluminum & Plastic MO-180

0.1250" (1/8") x .500" LOC Single O-Flute Carbide End Mill, Up Cut, 1/8" Shank

This 1/8" up-cut single O-flute carbide end mill features a 0.1250" (1/8") cutting diameter, .500" length of cut, 1.50" overall length, and a standard 1/8" shank. It is designed for CNC routing, profiling, slotting, and trimming in plastics and suitable non-ferrous materials.

The single O-flute geometry is especially well suited for cutting acrylic, plastic, PVC, ABS, HDPE, polycarbonate, and other softer materials. It may also be used in aluminum and suitable non-ferrous materials when proper feeds, speeds, chip clearing, and workholding are used.

The up-cut design helps evacuate chips efficiently by pulling chips up and away from the cut. This can improve bottom-edge cut quality in many routing applications. Because up-cut tools pull upward, the top edge may require proper hold-down, masking, or finishing depending on the material.

Typical Applications

• Acrylic and plastic machining
• PVC, ABS, HDPE, and polycarbonate cutting
• Signmaking and plastic fabrication
• Aluminum routing and milling when properly set up
• Suitable non-ferrous material cutting
• Profiling, slotting, and contouring
• CNC applications requiring efficient chip evacuation
